Building with Metricon

Yes unfortunately.
Maybe one day they will learn to listen and respect us their customers - the very people that made them all that money in the first place!

Yeah you’d think so, but actually they spend the money on taking the management team to Fiji, instead of looking after their customers!

Building with Metricon

Apparently Metricon made over $1.58 billion last financial year and jumped to 22nd position out of the top 500 private companies in Australia.
Pretty sure it’s all our upgrades that’s made…

Yes, this exact same thing happened to us too!

Thank you, its very trying indeed!
Yes sounds like you’ll be needing a new tap.
Nothing surprises me anymore with these builders.
Hope you find some peace, and everything is fixed ASAP.

Yes, it’s exactly the same here.
20 months since handover and still having Metricon fixing things.
The biggest issue we had were the malfunctioning stacker doors.
Metricon kept insisting they were fine, but…

Floating Floors

With solid timber you wouldn’t need it.
But with others ie bamboo, laminates etc apparently you need extra expansion gaps at hallway and entry to rooms.

Hi guys!
I’m having floating floor boards installed, but the guy doing it insists on ugly expansion gaps and trims across several doorways.
It’s so bloody ugly, but he says it has…

Omg that’s so frustrating!
But must admit not very surprising. Our upstairs door entry architraves are a bit crooked too. 🧐

Don’t stress, we had to have shorter eaves on the garage side too, and it all looks fine!
No body will even notice because it’s on the garage side.

These stacker doors look awesome!
Can you kindly tell me which frames they are?
Are they Horizon or Paragon for example?
Thanks so much!
